Another Monkey Wasted 04:35
lyrics
buy track
They've got primal fear Better give them a six pack of beer Maybe get 'em wasted Maybe take the edge off a bit Send 'em up in a rocket Pushin' six G's Another monkey wasted Six thousand five hundred degrees See the monkeys pickin' the leaves for your green tea See the monkeys pickin' the leaves for your green tea Crash test monkey Used to think everything was so damn funny But come to realize... it's not Buckled up for safety Never know which one might be good at racing Another monkey wasted The finish line's sure comin' up quick See the monkeys pickin' the leaves for your green tea See the monkeys pickin' the leaves for your green tea How much would you say, are scientists paid to implement Another crazy-ass backward justified experiment And if by chance one survives all of the bullshit The reward is a lifetime supply of life and banana splits See the monkeys pickin' the leaves for your green tea See the monkeys pickin' the leaves for your green tea

Bones, bones, bones, bones Dig them up Clean them off Lay them out Let's make a human with bones, bones Fossilized, mummified... Bones, bones, bones, bones Don't cremate Find a grave Seal and bury Looks like they're human bones, bones Calcified, sterilized... Bones, bones, bones, bones Dragons eat Human treats Tastes just like Chicken meat And they spit Out... the... bones, bones Spirits walk Through the walls Cause they lack... bones, bones Fossilized, mummified... bones

Cardboard Box 02:24
lyrics

I found a cardboard box it was plain and empty I turned it right-side up and cut a door for entry But I mistakenly forgot to make a key for the lock Shoobadoo ba Shoobadooba doobadoo Shoobadoo ba Shoobadooba doo... I found a cardboard box was pretty plain and empty I filled it up to the top with some golden opportunities But then the bottom dropped right out and I lost everything Shoobadoo ba Shoobadooba doobadoo Shoobadoo ba Shoobadooba doo... I found a cardboard box just layin' there empty I picked it up and kicked it, wearing socks and broke my toe incidentally Looks like karma's makin' all its rounds Maybe the box was better left right-side down Shoobadoo ba Shoobadooba doobadoo Shoobadoo ba Shoobadooba doo...

Blades on parade, they stay engaged like a tornado Nothin' is safe inside a cave of stalactite razors Out on my lawn, out on my lawn, out on my... Lawnmower stop the growing field Lawnmower stop the growing field Lawnmower stop the growing field The ground's green beret will get a shave if I get my way again Mulching away in a circular rage will level the playing field Out on my lawn, out on my lawn, out on my... Lawnmower stop the growing field Lawnmower stop the growing field Lawnmower stop the growing field Blades on parade, they stay engaged, full speed gyration Out on my lawn (You won't see weeds at all) Out on my lawn (Dandelions are the first to fall) Out on my lawn (You'll find gnomes that are half as tall) Out on my lawn Out on my lawn

I wanna be alkaline I wanna be like Hall of Famer, Al Kaline Or maybe Tom Brady and his wife Either way, prolly be fine I wanna be alkaline Reach that point in my prime Where I'm willing to pay the price Cause I'd never have to ever think twice again... again I wanna be more alkaline I wanna maximize my potential Raise my PH level Get myself extra special tonight... tonight I wanna be alkaline, I wanna be more alkaline, I wanna be alkaline, I wanna be more alkaline I could be the first to clone a Bigfoot After I borrowed one from Hollywood Then become a Lunar-Olympic Tycoon Setting Guinness Book Records on the Moon I wanna be alkaline I wanna swing through the city on a vine I wanna drive in a limo for the rest of my life I never wanna ever think twice again... again I wanna be alkaline, I wanna be more alkaline, I wanna be alkaline, I wanna be more alkaline

Lever & Pulley 02:57
lyrics
buy track
There's nothin' upstairs but a lever and a pulley Breakin' all the glass with the noise turned up fully Tin foil hat's gonna enhance your vision Both ways, sideways, now you're on a mission Daisy chain all your caffeinated thoughts 'Til the EKG gonna make you forgot When the Post-it notes have covered up the wall And the escalator climbs, you're ready to fall Sometimes you ride, sometimes you roll Sometimes you don't know when to let go... Icicles are drippin' in a fiery sunset Surgeon Gen's puffin' on a preapproved cigarettes Redirect the glimmer off some plastic that you found with the scent of a clue from a wiener-sniffin' hound Shout it out loud, actin' nervous like a felon Light it with a match, then collect the melons Microwave a dish of San Francisco rice There's a lot you'd like to do and most of it twice Sometimes you ride, sometimes you roll Sometimes you don't know when to let go... When the clouds erupt and water splashes in your eye like a riptide, tsunami from the sky.... There's nothin' upstairs but a lever and a pulley There's nothin' upstairs but a lever and a pulley There's nothin' upstairs but a lever and a pulley

Normal Me, Normal You 03:15
lyrics
buy track
Do you think you're normal? Well I think I'm normal too That's the way it's always been Cause we're registered and preapproved Despite being all uptight Each one of us has lost a couple screws Normal me, Normal you No more believing what's true Normal me, Normal you No more seeking the truth The elevator stops at every floor, it opens every door for the leaches that walk in my shoes Don't forget something unforeseen when the paper trail is plain as can be Poe said "All that we see or seem is but a dream within a dream." Normal me, Normal you No more believing what's true Normal me, Normal you No more seeking the truth You'd better cross stitch your lips Before using all the words that you twist Now it's time to catch a catchy lick from Buddy and the Crickets yeah... Ahoo ahoo ahoo, ahoo ahoo hoo hoo, ahoo ahoo hoo hoo Normal me, Normal you No more believing what's true Normal me, Normal you No more seeking the truth

Promoter X 02:37
lyrics

Pump, pump, pump, pump and dump, pump, pump, pump and dump, pump, pump, pump and dump.... Penny stocks offering unlimited potential Would a paper shredder and your wallet grab your attention? Does the pump 'n' dumper present you a list of their credentials? Probably not, I'm thinking not, not Promoter X... Pump, pump, pump, pump and dump, pump, pump, pump and dump, pump, pump, pump and dump.... On the disclaimer it tells you to Drop your piggy bank into a well Woulda, coulda, shoulda, now it's too late to sell Now you're screwed, better start a feud with Promoter X... Pump, pump, pump, pump and dump, pump, pump, pump and dump, pump, pump, pump and dump.... Bury yourself feet first in debt Micro-cap market's where to place all your bets You'll be the poster-child for "gullible" without a safety net Meanwhile, there's a big smile from Promoter X... Pump, pump, pump, pump and dump, pump, pump, pump and dump, pump, pump, pump and dump....

I've gotta secret weapon So let's play hide and seek I've gotta secret weapon and delivery is guaranteed So stay tuned, it's comin' soon... It might go "kaboom!"

"Sudden Doom" ...S-U-D-D-E-N-D-O-O... Rrraaarr! I've gotta secret weapon You'd better run you'd better move Cause I've gotta secret weapon A little present just for you It's not a platoon, it's not a witch's broom or hallucinogenic mushroom. It's a... it's a secret... I've gotta secret weapon You'd better run you'd better move Cause I've gotta secret weapon A little present just for you

Paddock's Paradox 03:47
lyrics
buy track
He's been heading towards destitute in his mind Cerebral musings from a subconscious mind The formula for happiness He wrote it in the snow with piss It melted now he's a pessimist Multi-millionaire Lounges in a chair Grabs another beer Inward truth or dare The secret life of the rich and infamous Mirror's cracked, bad luck for seven years Doesn't matter anyway Forty guns were stored away Gambled on catastrophe Multi- no one cares Unaware for years Another round of beer On and on for years People always told us not to judge a book by its cover Look at all the life he took with the spotlight on the ground Turned himself into anything just like a chameleon Everyone who thought they knew him never saw that comin' Multi-millionaire Lounges in a chair Another round of beer On and on for years

about

The Sticker Shock EP began as a solo project that was delayed after Scrubby Darnell decided to be spontaneous and purchase his first home. Time elapsed... almost 3 years passed by. Scrubby D was occupied in the toils of home ownership. And then one day he finally crawled out of his cardboard box and started recording each song at the end of 2017. A period of silence followed and then... it went digital.
